User's manual
Soundcheck 01/05

This powerful loudspeaker was designed for live applications, both as a full-range solution as well as in combination with a subwoofer. The bi-amp amplifier section delivers an output of 1200 W (Peak) and a sound pressure level of 124 dB (max.). This light loudspeaker impresses with rich bass response as well as an assertive midrange. The rear panel offers numerous connections and controls: 2 microphone inputs (XLR/jack), a line-in connector (RCA/XLR), a line-out connector (XLR/jack), 2-band EQ, a bass boost switch and a ground lift switch.

Additional highlights are the integral protective circuitry, built-in handles and rigging points, the 36 mm stand mount and the rugged overall design. Optional wall-mount brackets and monitor supports are available. The perfect PA solution for bands, mobile discos or permanent installation in medium-sized clubs and other function rooms.

Quasi 3-Way Active Tri-amplified Speaker System.
SPOT2500T is composed of an active full-range cabinet and a passive bass cabinet.
It is a high directivity, long throw compact systems, characterized by extremely high intelligibility, even at long distances, making it the perfect choice for live applications. This system was designed to simplify the task of assembling clusters by simply placing multiple enclosures side-by-side when wider horizontal dispersion is required.

SPOT 2500T is equipped with class D amplifiers controlled by the Montarbo DSP loudspeaker processor (56 bit, 180 MHz, 24 bit converters) which provides filtering, equalization, delay, limiting and diagnostic functions. This DSP utilizes an advanced algorithm for the real time control of both the power output and the temperature (both internal and external) of the amplifier; it also includes a dedicated standby function which results in reduced power consumption when no signal is present.

5 presets are available, one of which may be customized by the user and loaded into the DSP, thus adapting the speaker's acoustic response to the user's personal taste. The Internal DSP controller also provides an auxiliary output that may be used to drive an external subwoofer, be it equipped with internal filters or not. The presets can be modified by means of the Montarbo proprietary software program RAConLS™ with the LD2.4 USB interface (optional device). The remote control allows: programming and storage of one preset in the DSP and the creation of an unlimited library of personalized settings in the PC; adjustment of the frequency response by means of a 10 filter 'fully parametric' equalizer; adjustment of the delay time and of the output level of each speaker system; monitoring of the power amplifier's status (temperature, protection circuits, limiters and thermal alarms); selection of the type of subwoofer used.

- 3 class-D amplifiers (with switching-mode power supplies) that can supply a total of 2500 Watts EIAJ (1000 + 1000 W for the LF drivers, 500 W for the HF).
- 140 dB max SPL.
- Two 15" woofers (one of which in the passive bass module) with 4" voice coil, featuring a shielded front-mounted neodymium magnet.
- HF driver with a 1.4" throat and a 3" voice coil, featuring a neodymium magnet and titanium diaphragm. - High directivity (50° H x 40° V) wave-guide horn.
- Montarbo 56 bit DSP, 180 MHz, 24 bit converters.
- Dedicated standby function.
- Processed auxiliary output allows to drive an external subwoofer.
- 5 presets one of which may be customized and loaded into the DSP.
- Presets remote control and customization by means of the proprietary software program RAConLS™ and the optional LD2.4 USB interface.
- With a single LD2.4 USB interface it is possible to operate up to 10 speaker systems of the SPOT, WIDE and FULL series.
- The geometry of the cabinet allows for easy construction of clusters. A 3-system cluster results in a 150° horizontal coverage.
- Birch plywood cabinet, finished with anti-abrasion paint.
- Threaded studs (M10) for safe and simple suspension; adapter for coupling bar (SM3, optional); 2 ergonomically designed handles.

APPLICATIONS
- Coverage of large areas.
- Stage-monitoring applications (in-fill system).
- In-house system in theatres and in live-performances venues.

The new ETX Powered Loudspeakers family builds upon the industry-leading innovation and 85-year heritage of Electro-Voice audio engineering to offer the most advanced professional portable powered loudspeakers available today.
A versatile high-end choice for live entertainment venues, rental companies, pro musicians and DJs, and installed sound, the ETX Powered Loudspeakers family features three two-way models (10-inch, 12-inch and 15-inch, all with a precision HF titanium compression driver), a three-way model (15-inch with a 6.5-inch MF driver and a precision HF titanium compression driver) and two subs (15-inch and 18-inch drivers).
Positioned above the ZLX and Live X families respectively, ETX Powered Loudspeakers complete a trio of recent EV portable loudspeaker offerings-each of which was designed to bring best-in-class performance to its price point.
Inside each low-profile, tour-grade wood enclosure are a host of unique new features that set ETX Powered Loudspeakers apart, combining intelligent technology and innovative industrial design for spectacular results across all applications. EV-engineered high-efficiency transducers and high-powered Class-D amplifiers, Signal Synchronized Transducers (SST) waveguide design and smart FIR-Drive DSP all work together to provide peerless EV sound quality and precise coverage at the highest SPLs.
